An effort is being made to secure the
appointment of Rev. ]. w. Hancher foi
the resident pastor of the M. L. church
in this place for the coming year, but il
is believed that the influence exerted
by Rapid residents to have him return
ed to that place will be difficult to over
come. Rapid seems to have the faculty
of pressing her applications for desired
objects, with a vim that places failure
beyond the danger line.

given this place quite a ministerial tone,
but the reported chicken famine cir.
culated on the street last night was en-
tirely unwarranted, as it has now been
determined that the supply will be fully
equal to the demand. The scarcity
which was claimed to be general, is
only confined to the yellow-legged vari

Of the Vienna on Monday and Tuesday.
Mr.. Day has been a frequent visitor to
the Hills during the past eleven years,
but has never previously visited this

pleasure, with a view Of combining with
it such business as might favorably
present itself. He has been spending
some time in the northern Hills, where
he has valuable mining interests, and
latterly, with his wife, has been sojourn-
ing at the Hot Springs. Mr.. Day will
remain several weeks longer in the
Hills, and will visit Custer again before
his departure for his home in south
eastern Dakota.
